Concept of Discretion

INSTRUCTIONS:

During yesterday's class we discussed the concept of  'discretion"-use of one's own judgment to make decisions  Please find an article discussing a criminal case and write one paragraph discussing how law enforcement, prosecutor, or the judge used his/her discretion in the case.  What factors do you believe were considered in exercising their discretion-race, gender, religion etc.   Do you agree with the decision?  Why or why not?  If you were in a position of authority would you have made a different decision?     Articles can be found in online newspapers and other social media platforms.
